Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hierarchy type encoding/decoding apparatus which codes/decodes signals high-efficiently by using smaller code amount in recording, transmission and display system for performing a digital signal processing, and more particularly to a hierarchy type encoding/decoding apparatus for performing a hierarchical coding in correspondence with a plurality of systems having the different resolutions.
  • image data of low resolution are obtained by coding an original image after sub-sampling
  • differential data additionally used for high resolution are obtained by coding a differential signal which is generated by subtracting from the original image an image having the same sampling number as the original image by interpolating the sub-sampled image.
  • An image of low resolution is obtained by decoding only the image data of low resolution, while an image of high resolution is obtained by making the sampling number of the decoded image data of low resolution the same as that of the original image by interpolation to get an original image signal, by decoding the differential data to make a differential signal, and by adding the differential signal to the original image signal.
  • the differential signal is made by using the image of low resolution which is locally decoded at hierarchically coding, it is possible to compensate an error occurring in coding/decoding an image of low resolution by means of coding/decoding of the differential signal.
  • Such a method of hierarchically coding/decoding is also called as a pyramid coding, in which a sampling number of the coded signal becomes more than that of the original image.
  • FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a conventional coding apparatus.
  • An inputted signal through an image input 1 is sub-sampled to halves in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, by a two-dimensional sub-sampler 71 after bandwidths of the inputted signal are limited to halves in the vertical and horizontal directions.
  • the sub-sampled signal is delivered to a two-dimensional over-sampler 72, in which the signal is interpolated in the vertical and horizontal directions to make an over-sampled signal having a sampling number as the same as the inputted signal. Even though the over-sampled signal has the same sampling number as the inputted signal, a frequency component is limited to a half of the inputted signal in the vertical and horizontal directions.
  • a subtracter 8 receives the over-sampled signal at a subtracting input thereof and the inputted signal at a subtracted input thereof, and outputs a subtraction result as a high band width signal.
  • a frequency component of the high band width signal has a low frequency portion suppressed in the vertical and horizontal directions.
  • the high band width signal is made as high band width data through a DCT 10, a quantizer 11 and a variable length encoder 12, thereby to be outputted from an H-data output 13. Even though operation of the DCT 10, quantizer 11 and variable length encoder 12 is the same as the DCT 3, quantizer 4 and variable length encoder 5, a data processing amount of them becomes four times because the encoded sampling number is four times.
  • the total encoded sampling number is one and quarter times as large as the case where the inputted signals are coded as they are, without using the hierarchical coding, because there is duplication of a sub-sampled coded element and a coded element without sub-sampling.
  • FIG. 3 shows a frequency constitution of the high and low band widths.
  • ⁇ denotes a horizontal frequency
  • ⁇ does a vertical frequency
  • fh does the maximum horizontal frequency
  • fv does the maximum vertical frequency.
  • the low band width is included in the high band width, and entire low band width duplicates over the high band width.
  • the high band width signal has only distortion components due to deterioration of the frequency characteristics caused by sub-sampling and over-sampling processing. Accordingly, an encoded data amount does not become one and quarter times as large as the inputted signal, and it becomes only little more than the case where a hierarchical coding is not performed.
  • FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a conventional decoding apparatus.
  • a variable length decoder 22 returns the variable length code to a fixed length code of the data
  • an inverse quantizer 23 converts the code into a quantized representation value which will be made a reproduced low band width signal by inverse transformation of discrete cosine by means of an inverse discrete cosine transformer 24. Since an output of the inverse DCT 24 is sub-sampled, a two-dimensional over-sampler 72 interpolates the output of the inverse DCT 24 to return the same sampling number as that of an inverse DCT 30.
  • a high band width data through an H-data input 27 are made as a reproduced high band width signal through a variable length decoder 28, an inverse quantizer 29 and an inverse DCT 30.
  • the reproduced high band width signal is added with the output of the two-dimensional over-sampler 72 as the low band width signal by an adder 25, thereby to be outputted a reproduced image signal through an image output 26.
  • the sampling number of the high band width is certainly larger than the number of the low band width in the conventional hierarchical coding, an unbalance occurs in the processing amounts between the high and low band widths, so that it is necessary to provide apparatus having different processing capabilities for low and high band widths, respectively. Accordingly, a processing capability is not made the most thereof when the high band width apparatus is used for the low band width, the low band width apparatus lacks the processing capability in the high band width processing. Also, a constitution becomes complicated when a time sharing processing of the high and low band widths is performed.
  • US-A-4780760 describes an arrangement which broadly corresponds to the above discussed Figure 1.
  • a low band which has been sub-sampled in two-dimension is over-sampled and subtracted from the input signal to obtain a high band residual signal.
  • the low band signal and the high band residual are respectively encoded.
  • there is an overlap portion between the low band and high band which increases the sample number in the overlap proportion.
  • EP-A-0465732 relates to sub band coding.
  • an image signal is sub-sampled after passing through a low pass filter, and also is sub-sampled after passing through a high pass filter, to produce low and high bands respectively. These low and high bands are respectively encoded.
  • both the high band and low band are sub-sampled, even though the sampled number to be coded does not increase, it is possible that problems will occur because of overlapped portions of the bands.
  • the present invention is conceived in view of the above-points, and has an object to provide a hierarchical coding/decoding apparatus which can reasonably utilize an entire systematization by using two coding/decoding devices each having only low bandwidth processing capability, in which the processing amounts in the high and low bandwidths are the same as each other by equalizing the sampling numbers in the high and low bandwidths in the manner that the data in the low bandwidth are sub-sampled only in the vertical direction and the data in the high bandwidth are sub-sampled in the horizontal direction.
  • the present invention further provides a hierarchical encoding apparatus for hierarchically encoding an image, comprising:
  • the present invention yet further provides a hierarchical encoding apparatus for hierarchically encoding an image, comprising motion vector determination means for determining a motion vector from an input signal and a local reproduced image signal of a frame which precedes a present frame;
  • the present invention also provides a hierarchical decoding apparatus for decoding a hierarchically coded image, comprising:
  • the present invention provides a hierarchical decoding apparatus for decoding a hierarchically coded image, comprising:
  • the present invention provides a hierarchical decoding apparatus for decoding a hierarchically coded image, comprising:
  • frequencies in the high and low bandwidths duplicate within the low frequency portion in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and the frequency within this portion is a half of the low and high bandwidths, respectively.
  • High frequency portions (slant high bandwidth) both in the horizontal and vertical directions are not transmitted both in the high and low bandwidths, and a visual importance of its bandwidth is low, thereby realizing a reasonability of encoding/decoding.
  • a data amount of the entire bandwidth is one and half times as large as that of only low bandwidth.
  • the sampling number of the encoded signals is the same as the case where the hierarchical encoding is not performed, thereby realizing the same processing amount for encoding/decoding.
  • the hierarchical encoding/decoding apparatus according to the present invention has an extremely excellent effect in the practical use.
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a hierarchical encoding apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the same components shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same numerals.
  • Different portions in comparison with the conventional encoding apparatus shown in FIG. 1 are, a vertical sub-sampler 2 in the place of the two-dimensional sub-sampler 71, a vertical over-sampler 7 in the place of the two-dimensional sub-sampler 72, and a horizontal sub-sampler 9 which is newly added.
  • an inputted signal through the image input 1 is limited in band width to a half in the vertical direction by the vertical sub-sampler 2, and is sub-sampled to a half.
  • the sub-sampled signal becomes the compressed data in the same manner of the conventional encoding apparatus through the DCT 3, quantizer 4 and variable length encoder 5 to be outputted through the L-data output 6.
  • the sub-sampled signal is also delivered to the vertical over-sampler 7.
  • the vertical over-sampler 7 interpolates the sub-sampled signal in the vertical direction for returning the sampling number as the same as the inputted signal to output an over-sampled signal to the subtracter 8.
  • the subtracter 8 receives the over-sampled signal as the subtracting input, and the inputted signal as the subtracted signal, thereby outputting the subtracting result as the high band width signal.
  • the high band width signal is limited to a half in the horizontal direction, and is sub-sampled to a half by the horizontal sub-sampler 9.
  • the sub-sampled high band width signal is coded through the DCT 10, quantizer 11 and variable length encoder 12 to be outputted as H-data through the H-data output 13.
  • both of an output of the vertical sub-sampler 2 and an output of the horizontal sub-sampler 9 have a half the sampling number of the original signal. Accordingly, the processing amount for the low band width by the DCT 3, quantizer 4 and variable length encoder 5, is the same as the processing amount for the high band width by the DCT 10, quantizer 11 and variable length encoder 12.
  • a total encoded sampling number is the same as the original signal which is obtained by adding a half with a half and is less than the conventional encoding apparatus.
  • FIG. 10 There is shown in FIG. 10 a condition between the high and low band widths in this embodiment.
  • the components in the portion where the frequencies are low in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction are present in both the H-data and the L-data, while the components (slant high-frequency components) in the portion where the frequencies are high in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction are absent in both the H-data and the L-data. Accordingly, the quality of this reproduced image is not similar to that of the case where the hierarchical encoding is not performed. But, the components in the portion where the frequencies are high in both the vertical direction and horizontal direction do not have the visual importance because these portions are often suppressed in the band width compression in an analog transmission.
  • FIG. 5 shows a constitution of the decoding apparatus corresponding to the encoding apparatus shown in FIG. 4.
  • the same components of the conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 2 are denoted as the same numerals.
  • the apparatus shown in FIG. 5 is different from the decoding apparatus shown in FIG. 2 at the points of a vertical over-sampler 7 in the place of the two-dimensional over-sampler 72, and a horizontal over-sampler 31 which is newly added.
  • the L-data inputted through the L-data input 21 are decoded by the variable length decoder 22, inverse quantizer 23 and inverse DCT 24 in the same manner of the conventional apparatus, thereby returning the same number as the original image.
  • the H-data through the H-data input 27 are decoded by the variable length decoder 28, inverse quantizer 28 and inverse DCT 29 through the same steps of the conventional apparatus, thereby returning the same number as the original image.
  • the adder 25 adds both the outputs of the vertical over-sampler 7 and horizontal over-sampler 31 to output an additional signal as a reproduced image signal through the image output 26.
  • variable length decoder 22 If only the low band component is taken out as the output of the inverse DCT 24, data need only L-data and it is sufficient to provide the variable length decoder 22, inverse quantizer 23 and inverse DCT 24 as the same manner of the conventional example.
  • the decoding unit in the low band width (the variable length decoder 22, inverse quantizer 23 and inverse DCT 24) becomes the same as the decoding system in the high band width (the variable length decoder 28, inverse quantizer 29 and inverse DCT 30), thereby resulting a processing amount two times as large as that of the case where only the decoding system of low band width is provided. Accordingly, if the decoding apparatus is constituted by the device of the low band width, two of the apparatus can correspond to the entire band width. Therefore, it is possible to provide a reasonable system constitution corresponding to such different resolutions.
  • FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of the hierarchical coding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
  • a first difference between the first and second embodiments resides in that interfame prediction is performed with the moving picture.
  • a second difference is that the hierarchical processing of the second embodiment uses the images which are locally decoded, but the hierarchical processing is not performed before the coding processing.
  • the inputted signal through the image input 1 is limited to a half in the vertical direction by the vertical sub-sampler 2 and sub-sampled to a half.
  • a predictive subtracter 32 subtracts a predictive signal of a frame memory 34 from the low band width signal of the limited and sub-sampled signal to output a subtract signal to an intraframe encoder 33 as a predictive residual signal. Since the intraframe encoder 33 has a constitution substantially same as the combination of the DCT 3, quantizer 4 and variable length encoder 5, the predictive residual signal becomes the compressed data which are outputted through the L-data output 6 and which are delivered to an intraframe decoder 36 at the same time.
  • the intraframe decoder 36 Since the intraframe decoder 36 has a constitution substantially same as the combination of the variable length decoder 22, inverse quantizer 23 and inverse DCT 24, the data become a reproduced predictive residual signal which is delivered to an adder 35.
  • the adder 35 adds the reproduced predictive residual signal with the output of the frame memory 34 and supplies the reproduced image signal to the frame memory 34.
  • the frame memory 34 delays the reproduced image for one frame and supplies a predictive signal to the predictive subtracter 32 and the adder 35.
  • the output of the adder 35 as the reproduced image is also delivered to the vertical over-sampler 7.
  • Operation of the vertical over-sampler 7, subtracter 8 and sub-sampler 9 is the same as that shown in FIG. 4.
  • An interframe predictive coding of an output of the sub-sampler 9 is performed by a predictive subtracter 37, an intraframe encoder 38, an intraframe decoder 39, an adder 40 and a frame memory 39 in the same manner of processing in the low band width, thereby outputting the interframe predictive coding signal through an H-data output 13.
  • the signal delivered to the over-sampler 7 is the same as that shown in FIG. 4 as the matter of formal, the inputted signal is not sub-sampled, as to which the coded and decoded reproduced image is used.
  • a quantization error occurring in coding and decoding in the low band width is compensated in the high band width.
  • the local decoding is generally performed even in the case where the intraframe predictive coding is not performed in the hierarchical manner, thereby using the reproduced image in non-hierarchical manner.
  • FIG. 7 shows the decoding apparatus according to the second embodiment of this invention corresponding to the encoding apparatus shown in FIG. 6.
  • the components of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 5 are represented by the same numerals in FIG. 7.
  • the different portions between FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 are to provide adders 35 and 40 and frame memories 34 and 39.
  • FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the coding apparatus according to the third embodiment of this invention. The components same as those of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 are represented by the same numerals.
  • FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 reside in that there is a motion compensation interframe prediction coding in which an interframe processing is not performed by hierarchical manner, and only an intraframe processing is performed by hierarchical manner. Since the motion compensation processing can be predicted more properly by performing it in the condition of the precise sampling density, the motion compensation processing is performed in the above-manner before sub-sampling is performed.
  • a motion vector (MV) determiner 51 and a motion compensator 52 are newly provided and the predictive subtracter 32 and the frame memory 34 are provided by one, respectively.
  • the predictive subtracter 32 subtracts a predictive signal delivered by the motion compensator 52 from an image signal inputted through the image input 1, thereby supplying a predictive residual signal to the vertical sub-sampler 2 and subtracter 8.
